More Product Information
Southwest Microwave’s high performance End Launch Connectors are designed to provide low VSWR, mode-free wide responses up to 125 GHz for single and multilayer microstrip or grounded coplanar printed circuit boards. Available in SMA (27 GHz), 2.92 mm (40 GHz), 2.40 mm (50 GHz), 1.85 mm (67 GHz) and 1.0 mm (125 GHz).
Male and female options along with narrow body and bulkhead feed-through. Unique clamping mechanism accommodates board thickness up to .300” (7.62 mm). Robust, reusable and repairable. Multiple launch configurations provide the best possible match to circuit layout. Works on microstrip and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs. Signal-layer microstrip and GCPW test boards available. Soldering is optional.
